Description

SHS – 3 Cavalry Shield on the Long Retreat (Garnet W. Jex – Sharpsburg Historical Society, Sharpsburg Maryland) In the rain, the slow, painful march of Lee’s battered army from the field of Gettysburg to the Potomac River was under heavy pressure from powerful Union cavalry. Stuart’s tired veterans fought off determined rear guard attacks around Hagerstown and at the many crossings of the protecting Antietam Creek. With outer edges of historical notes and references around the border, this artwork is a history buff’s dream.

NOTE: The actual artwork is 18(L) X 13.75(W) X 0.25(H) but is backed with a 16(L) X 20(W) X 0.25(H) cardboard and preserved in a plastic sleeve.
